A beautiful and overlooked story and very important aspect of our society. We should all push and urge politicians to support young Mums in business with enterprise advice, tax breaks, start-up packs and creche-respite type assistance and a fully fledged nursury programme. I know that if Guys like me want kids we have to hurry up and get started with the right rewarding business package so that all parties feel fulfilled in modern parenthood. we can't let women's brains, talents, flair and skills be not tested to the fullest and it is great to see these good mothers fully mobilised and empowered. Too often reactionary men objectify and underestimate women seeing them as silent passive Mona Lisas rather than like Saint Joan of Arc! And all this after Helen Clark's golden era. Men and Women have to dream the dream or face a lifetime of frustration and misery. GROMIT 2
